16 health economics studies across 14 countries since 2015

100% cost-effectiveness analysis concluded that mechanical thrombectomy is cost-effective or cost saving

*over 60%

of the studies have been published in peer reviewed journals or considered for reimbursement by HTA/Reimbursement authorities (Australia, Poland and Russia).

Spain flag

Stent-retriever thrombectomy after intravenous tissue plasminogen activator is a dominant alternative over intravenous tissue plasminogen activator alone (more effective and less costly) for the treatment of acute ischaemic stroke ……” 17

UK Flag

Combined stent-retriever neurothrombectomy and IV t-PA is a highly effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke and results in long-term cost-saving when compared with IV t-PA alone…” 18

USA flag

“Among patients with acute ischemic stroke enrolled in the SWIFT- PRIME trial, SST increased initial treatment costs, but was projected to improve quality-adjusted life-expectancy and reduce healthcare costs over a lifetime horizon compared with tPA” “…findings suggest that for patients similar to those enrolled in SWIFT-PRIME, a treatment strategy of SST+tPA is highly cost- effective and likely economically dominant compared with tPA” 19
